C52 Do not save one's life when one sees one's death

Madame Li was much more direct as she circled Luo Mingshi, sizing her up from head to toe. Before she could even open her mouth, tears had flowed down her face.

Luo Mingshi was also sizing up Madame Li, and when she saw that she had gotten off the carriage unharmed, she knew that she was overthinking it, and did not notice that the bandit went around to the carriage at the back. She had been worrying about this the whole time, and it seemed like she was worrying for nothing now. She finally protected her aunt to the fullest.

She then forced out a smile and said coquettishly, "Aunt, I'm fine."

However, things happened in an instant. Before she could open her mouth to say anything, she keenly noticed that there was a sliver of a different wind in the surroundings. She was about to dodge when she was suddenly hugged by the startled Aunt Ren.

She just held on to her aunt like that, and someone around her seemed to be screaming? Whose voice was that? Oh, it's First Madame and Luo Mingxue. Why did they scream?

"It sounded like someone was talking. Oh, it's an aunt. What did she say?" Aunt said she would protect you. "

Protect me? I'm fine. Why protect me? He only reached out his hand to touch it, yet he felt the tail feather of an arrow, along with its warm, slippery texture. He lifted his hand shakily and looked through the aunt's scattered hair.

He heard the words of the First Madame clearly, trembling with fear and unease: "Second Aunt must have had a calamity recently, to have been hit by Master Hui Ling. It's just that I didn't expect that it would be a life and death calamity."

Life-Death Tribulation? Was Second Madame dead?

In an instant, she heard the exclamations of shock from the crowd. What had happened then? However, she was no longer able to hear him. At this moment, she only wanted to rest. Today was truly too tiring.

In the midst of everyone's shocked cries, Luo Mingshi was already about to fall.

Feeling the soft and weak Qi from the person in his arms, Feng Haoxuan really hated himself to death today, what use was there for all his good martial arts, he was lucky enough to be the one who saved others, the young hero of the martial arts world, yet he did not save anyone, repeatedly doing so. What kind of hero was he, what kind of hero was he?

However, could the girl in his arms be called a girl?

However, Feng Haoxuan no longer dared to treat her like a child. There seemed to be an endless amount of power in her body, causing her to rouse himself and fight. However, after his aunt died, this power was removed from her body and washed away. Only an empty shell remained, which silently fell into his arms.

Feng Haoxuan stretched out his hand with a slight tremble, and sighed at her breathing. It was only when he felt that faint and almost indiscernible exhalation that he finally relaxed and realized how foolish his actions were. Luo Mingshi had always been right under his nose, and he had always been looking at her with his own eyes, what was he doing now.

The First Madame finally reacted, ordering Ju Xiang to carry her aunt's corpse to the carriage at the back, only after she settled her down did she walk over to the strange man who was carrying Luo Mingshi.

He said tentatively, "I hope young master can put my daughter down."

It was only when the First Madame spoke that Feng Haoxuan finally woke up from his stupor and gently put Luo Mingshi down when he realized how rude he had been holding her in his arms. Only then did he carefully put Luo Mingshi in the First Madame's arms.

Only when the First Madame had ordered some people to help out and brought Luo Mingshi to the carriage, did she turn around and say to Feng Haoxuan: "Today, thank you for saving me, I am from the Luo Family Palace in the capital. I hope that Young Master can visit when you have time, so that I can repay Young Master for saving me today."

simply could not bring himself to show his shame. Other than Luo Mingshi, everyone here treated him as a savior, and only Luo Mingshi knew that he was not the savior of their lives.

Without waiting for First Madame to continue speaking, Feng Haoxuan immediately said: "Madam, I'm just worried that you might encounter any inconvenience on the remaining path, what if I were to escort you back to the manor?"

Now that everyone in the Luo Family was exhausted, and if something bad were to happen on the road ahead, then what should be done? With someone strong to protect her, it was just that she could not speak out on such an impolite request, and it would be best if Feng Haoxuan could suggest it himself.

Luo Mingshi suddenly woke up from her stupor. She felt as if she had had a very long dream, and that dream was her entire life. Everyone there made her feel pain, and everything there made her collapse.

As she sat up, she noticed that her surroundings had changed. This was no longer the final battlefield of her battle, but her bedroom.

Wang Chun heard the commotion and rushed in, "Miss, you finally woke up."

Luo Mingshi stared coldly at Wang Chun, as if he did not recognize her. Wang Chun was a little frightened, but her voice became even more cautious: "Miss?"

Only then did Luo Mingshi return to her original body, and her first sentence was, "Where's the aunt?"

Wang Chun did not answer, but instead said with a choked of sobs, "Miss, you have been in a coma for seven days, Master and First Madame are about to die from anxiety. Doctor Qian came daily to help you control the situation, but he only said that you were stuck in a nightmare and had to wake up on your own." After saying that, she seemed to recall something, "Miss must be hungry after not eating for so many days, I'll go prepare something for you."

After he finished speaking, he ran out like a wisp of smoke, and didn't dare look Luo Mingshi in the eyes the entire time.

The entire room became empty once again. The deathly silence made people unable to stop the chill from running down their spines.

At this time, Luo Mingyan walked over and called out softly: "Sister?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Luo Mingshi looked up and saw Luo Mingyan lying on the side of her bed, looking at her in a pitiful manner. Luo Mingshi did not move, nor did he speak.

Finally, Luo Mingyan extended his hand out towards Luo Mingshi and said: "Big sister, hug me, just like before." As he said that, his tears could not help but fall down, although Luo Mingshi still did not move, the hand that Luo Mingyan extended out was so strong that it did not drop.

When Luo Mingshi saw Luo Mingyan's tears, she realized that she had never seen Luo Mingyan cry before.

Even so, Luo Mingshi still ignored Luo Mingyan and stood up, barefooted she walked straight to the table and poured herself a cup of tea. She gulped it down and poured herself a second cup.

When Luo Mingyan saw this, he cried even harder. His mother had died, and now his sister was ignoring him. The more he thought about it, the more he cried.
